Dunshaughlin Warehouse

Allen Tod has been commissioned to renovate and develop a 19th Century historic workhouse outside Dublin.

The project will include restoring Dunshaughlin Workhouse and its grounds to provide a mixture of new housing and accommodation within the existing structure.

The workhouse is a large stone rubble building based on
a standard pattern by George Wilkinson. Restoration work will include reinstating beautiful stone cross-mullioned windows and Tudor redbrick chimneys to enhance the original frontage. The renovation will also maintain the historic integrity of the building, whilst offering well-proportioned, good quality housing.

Over 100 new homes will be built in small clusters within the grounds and large green areas of open space will complement the quality of the development.

The workhouse dates back to 1841 and was built to accommodate 400 of the poorest people during the Irish famine. It was closed down in 1922 and has since been used as a factory, school and courthouse.
